On that scale, my daily average is a 7 with pain killers, 8 without. Most people haven’t experienced this level supposedly. Crushed body parts, being on fire/burns on 60%+ of the body. Pain severe enough that it causes unconsciousness. This level is apparently most commonly associated with throat cancer.ġ0 – unspeakable. If the anything doesn’t work, suicide is frequent as there is no joy in living. You’ll do just about anything to stop the pain. Suicide is contemplated and sometimes attempted.ĩ – excruciating or unbearable. You can’t think, pain is dominating all senses all the time. Long term usage causes personality changes. Most small broken bones (small bones in the wrist, foot, toes) would be at this level.Ĩ – utterly horrible. Pain so bad that it frequently dominates all senses. Generally the level most folks start thinking of going to the dr or ER.ħ – very intense. This is the Feminism point!” you’re sexist. Can’t keep a regular job, can’t keep regular social functioning. You can’t think clearly sometimes, the pain dominates some of your senses. You notice the pain all the time and it disrupts you’re life by consciously needing to manage it. You can’t completely adapt, pain is always present. You can adapt to this- mosquito bite, small cut, reality tv.Ĥ – distressing. It starts:ġ-2 – barely noticeable to pinching yourself.ģ – tolerable. I do like the Mayo Clinic’s version of the 10 point scale. Some have give up using that scale, and simply say 20. In my work, I ask that same question and get variations of the same answer I give. Not livable long term, but not going to be drowned out if I hit myself with a hammer.” These are the only sensations I’m capable of remembering ever and the only ones I can ever expect to continue. My usual answer is along the lines of, “The worst pain I’ve ever felt was when all my muscles tried to pull away from my bones, my body contorted, legs trying to kick my head from behind, my mouth felt like it was being stung by ants who were on fire and I was eating barbed wire that was being dragged by the ants through every blood vessel in my body (yes, ants are still on fire doing this). My hated question from all doctors is, “On a scale from 1 to 10, with 10 being the worst, what is your pain level?” If these things are helping, then hopefully it’ll get a bit more towards “normal,” and the happy period be a month or more, and I can return to work. Given the past, this period could stay as is and last about a week to three weeks. If it is, then I hope that these steps will make it a more pleasant regression than previous ones. Given all the things we’ve looked at as possible culprits, this could just be a regression period. However, since they are more minor than the good stuff so far, I’m going to keep it up and continue to look for more natural remedies. I’ve noticed more headaches (oddly, but they tend more toward migraines), temperature sensitivity (I’m either freezing or painfully hot), and increased need for my inhalers as negatives.

I’ve also added more omega 3’s and 6’s, B complex, and fish oil (all supposed to be anti-inflammatory, blood helping stuff). Still have balance problems and hot spots of pain, but it’s less dissipated.

I’ve started doing willow bark tea (not as bitter as I’d think, just kinda woody tasting) and I’m generally moving easier. I double checked the medicinal properties of the willow, and it’s an anti-inflammatory and lasts longer than what I’ve been prescribed. We’d cut them green, and I’d noticed I felt a lot better after working with them (odd, since I gave myself plenty of splinters when carelessly stripping the leaves). He’s also agreed to see me on Fridays for bartering until I start working again.Īlso, last week I was working a lot with white willow branches for my dream catchers. He’s suggested getting a posture pump and adding a few stretching exercises to what I already do. It could cause some of the problems I’ve had, maybe not to the severity I’ve had, and certainly not all of the problems. Dem bones, dem bones, gonna cause break failure.
